K-edge imaging is commonly used for viewing contrast pharmaceuticals in a variety of multi-energy x-ray imaging techniques, ranging from dual-energy and spectral computed tomography to fluoroscopy. When looking for the K-edge signal of a…

Object: Modern computational MRI denoising approaches are often designed assuming fixed k-space coverage. This contrasts with earlier acquisition-design literature that leveraged k-space coverage modifications (e.g., reducing spatial…

Phase-contrast X-ray imaging can improve the visibility of weakly absorbing objects (e.g. soft tissues) by an order of magnitude or more compared to conventional radiographs. Previously, it has been shown that combining phase retrieval with…

Spectral and grating-based differential phase-contrast X-ray imaging are two emerging technologies that offer additional information compared with conventional attenuation-based X-ray imaging. In the case of spectral imaging,…

X-ray interaction with matter is an energy-dependent process that is contingent on the atomic structure of the constituent material elements. The most advanced models to capture this relationship currently rely on Monte Carlo (MC)…

Photon Counting Detectors (PCDs) open new opportunities in X-ray imaging. Pixie III is a PCD using simultaneously two energy thresholds. This enables to acquire images using two distinct energy bins in a single exposure and allows to…

Inferior soft-tissue contrast resolution is a major limitation of current CT scanners. The aim of the study is to improve the contrast resolution of CT scanners using dual-energy acquisition. Based on dual-energy material decomposition, the…

Low-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers a cost-effective alternative for medical imaging in resource-limited settings. However, its widespread adoption is hindered by two key challenges: prolonged scan times and reduced image…

Optical image data have been used by the Remote Sensing workforce to study land use and cover since such data is easily interpretable. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has the characteristic of obtaining images during all-day, all-weather and…

X-ray spectral imaging provides quantitative imaging of trace elements in biological sample with high sensitivity. We propose a novel algorithm to promote the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of X-ray spectral images that have low photon counts.…

Purpose: To assess whether breast lesion segmentation can be learned directly from acquired MRI k-space, and whether doing so improves robustness when data are accelerated or noisy. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study used…

Purpose: Photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) shows promise for medical imaging in regards to material separation and imaging of multiple contrast agents. However, many PCCT setups are under development and are not optimized for…

Spectroscopic techniques are essential for studying material properties, but the small cross-sections of some methods may result in low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) in the collected spectra. In this article we present methods, based on…

We investigated whether a combination of k-space undersampling and variable density averaging enhances image quality for low-SNR MRI acquisitions. We implemented 3D Cartesian k-space prospective undersampling with a variable number of…

When x-rays penetrate soft matter, their phase changes more rapidly than their amplitude. In- terference effects visible with high brightness sources creates higher contrast, edge enhanced images. When the object is piecewise smooth (made…

Here we apply hyperspectral bright field imaging to collect computed tomographic images with excellent energy resolution (800 eV), applying it for the first time to map the distribution of stain in a fixed biological sample through its…

X-ray fluorescence computed tomography (XFCT) and K-edge computed tomography (CT) are two important modalities to quantify a distribution of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) in a small animal for preclinical studies. It is valuable to determine…

Angular differential imaging is a high-contrast imaging technique that reduces quasi-static speckle noise and facilitates the detection of nearby companions. A sequence of images is acquired with an altitude/azimuth telescope while the…

Three-dimensional digital subtraction angiography (3D-DSA) is a widely adopted technique for clinical evaluation of contrast-enhanced vasculatures. The distribution of a contrast agent such as iodine is often estimated via temporal…
